Killing Your Game

by Samson Dubina on Mon, 2016-08-15 09:04
Sit Less... ...Win More

 
 
 
 
 
 
For years, I have been trying to convince my students to avoid sitting.  Sitting too much before, during, and after training and tournaments will kill your body.  Think about it...
1. Players often is for 3-4 hours driving to a tournament 
2. Players immediately sit down between matches for extended periods of time
3. As soon as the tournament is finished, players immediately sit back in the car and drive another 3-4 hours
4. Players wake up the next day and rest by sitting for 10 hours in front of the TV

Forehand Controversy

by Samson Dubina on Sat, 2016-08-06 07:18
Straight or Circular

Among coaches, there has always been a controversy about the forehand loop technique.

Should the stroke for an exact straight line or should it be somewhat circular? From watching many, many, MANY top players, it is clear to me that the motion should be somewhat circular. I have chosen this short video clip to show you Rye Seung Min's forehand from multiple angles. Go to settings, and watch this youtube video using google chrome on the slowest slow motion.
